Engineering Clippard's New DV Valve

Design World'sPaul Heney interviews Clippard Instrument Laboratory's former design engineer, Dave McBreen, about the unique advantages of the new DV pneumatic valve, including a nozzle design and robust spider. McBreen discusses how the DV valve is a genesis of Clippard's popular and time-tested EV valve, and how its design engineers reworked the nozzle and magnetics to achieve high flow rates of 100 l/pm at 100 psig.
